Born in New York, Morrow's artistic inclinations were initially fostered through his academic pursuits at art school. This early exposure to the world of art laid the groundwork for his subsequent foray into the realm of theater, where he would eventually don the mantle of "Irving Morrow" and take to the stage as early as 1927 in Pennsylvania.
Morrow's theatrical endeavors would go on to encompass a wide range of productions, including "Penal Law", "Once in a Lifetime", "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "Twelfth Night", "Romeo and Juliet", and "Macbeth". As he tread the boards, Morrow would share the spotlight with an impressive array of stars, including Katharine Cornell, Maurice Evans, Katharine Hepburn, Luise Rainer, and the inimitable Mae West.
Morrow's cinematic career would get underway with the 1953 Biblical epic "The Robe", a film that marked the beginning of a long and storied journey through the world of Hollywood. This early foray into film would be followed by a steady stream of projects that would continue to unfold throughout the 1970s.
In the latter years of his life, Morrow would shift his focus to commercial illustration, while still taking on the occasional acting assignment. This dual pursuit would serve as a fitting culmination to a career that had seen Morrow excel in multiple artistic mediums, leaving behind a lasting legacy that would be remembered for generations to come.
